Frédéric Chopin (1810–49)

Frédéric Chopin was a Polish French composer and pianist of the Romantic period. He was one of few composers to
devote himself to a single instrument, and his sensitive approach to the keyboard allowed him to exploit all the
resources of the piano, including innovations in fingering and pedaling. He is thus primarily known for writing music
for the piano, notably Nocturne, Op. 9 No. 2 in E-flat Major, Nocturne in C-sharp Minor, B. 49, and Heroic
Polonaise.

Ⅵ. Antonio Vivaldi (1678–1741)

Antonio Vivaldi was an Italian composer and violinist of the Baroque period. He wrote music for operas, solo
instruments, and small ensembles, but he is often celebrated for his concerti, in which virtuoso solo passages alternate
with passages for the whole orchestra. He wrote about 500 concerti, of which his best-known work is the group of four
violin concerti titled The Four Seasons. His Mandolin Concerto in C Major, RV 425, Concerto for Four Violins and
Cello in B Minor, Op. 3, No.10 and Concerto for Two Trumpets in C Major are equally playful and complex.
